This application for carer’s allowance was disallowed on 23/06/12. A request for review was made by the person in question. That review has been completed. The decision that full time care and attention is not being supplied in this case remains unchanged. She was notified of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of appeal in a letter that issued 12/09/12.

I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question. The medical assessment has been completed and the application is awaiting examination by a deciding officer for a means assessment and a full decision. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
